Pre-College Engineering Education

particularly useful prompting question was: “Why?”Research QuestionsWe investigated three research questions for this study: 1. How do kindergartners engaged in an engineering design challenge analyze (i.e., diagnose and/or explain) their design failure experiences? 2. Do kindergartners whose designs fail choose to persist by trying again? 3. How do kindergartners whose designs fail apply testing results and failure analysis when creating their next design attempt?ContextParticipants and SchoolsWe recruited participants from five kindergarten classrooms across three schools within a schoolsystem in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Adamsville Elementary is a Title I schoolin an urban area with about 500 students. Blakely

. The plan lists the project activities planned for the semester within aperiod of 15 weeks. Each activity is assigned to particular members of the group to be completedwithin a time limit. This way a work plan is developed and tasks are distributed among groupmembers. Each student takes responsibility in team efforts to complete the assigned tasks. Figure2 shows an example of the Management Plan.The Management Plan describes and specifies the activities, procedures, and resources requiredto build the overall system prototype. It includes the group information such as the groupmembers, student IDs, initials, project title, group advisor, semester and academic year, andprogress report number. At the same time, it involves two sections titled

TechnologyDr. Eric J. AlmDr. Alison F Takemura, US Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute Alison loves wading into a good science story. Her first was her MIT doctoral thesis project, unlocking the gastronomical genome of a Vibrio bacterium. For some of the Vibrio’s meals, she collected seaweed from the rocky, Atlantic coastline at low tide. (Occasionally, its waves swept her off her feet.) During grad school, Alison was also a fellow in MIT’s Biological Engineering Communication Lab. Helping students share their science with their instructors and peers, she began to crave the ability to tell the stories of other scientists, and the marvels they discover, to a broader audience. So after graduating in 2015 with a
